'coming years'. next year it begins with 2.5g, not 3g. the mobile PC will come standard with built-in interface chipsets. Intel is working on these for Dell and others

currently 802.11b advertises 10mgb per second. but transfer of 10mgb of data takes up to seven minutes (this doesn't count a multiple unit connected environment). broadcast is done in unlicensed spectrum and subject to multiple interference sources. builtin chipset solutions solve many of these issues

qcom wants its chipset built into all cdma2000 and WCDMA compatible PCs. qcom is working on their own solutions as is Nokia (NOK is working with IDCC, TXN, and INTC to develop their own WCDMA set).
